Day 8 Questions for others

Day 8. No pain relief yet. I have a question as i am still having doubts (but will not give up).
Does anyone have pain that moved around daily? I have intense nerve pain in neck, then can move to shoulders or head or spine or chest or abdomen. Does anyone have similarities to this?

 

Correct, I had movement for weeks.
I was still having physical therapy and my therapist at that time did not understand what was going on with my neck, shoulders and spine. I stopped PT at that point. (I ignored Sarno's advise to stopped PT at first)

 

And you are pain free now!??

 

My back, neck and spine issues are gone. I workout and run 5k’s. Took me a total of 6 months. Now i have another TMS issue put it moved to another part of the body. Make sure you read successstories on this site.

 

How did you do It? I feel so scared and many times lose hope

 

Start reading dr. Sarno's book over and over. I watched dr. Sarno's movies and documentaries. Has your doctor ruled out any major issues? Fear and anxiety is fuel for TMS, I know how hard it is to overcome, it took me months. The journaling in the SEP program really helped as youtube videos with success stories of ex TMSers.

 

Hey dede,

I feel you! I know how in those moments of intense or persistent pain, the doubt and fears unite, and it's hard to maintain the certainty that is so essential in healing.

I had some relatively easy TMS wins with pain in wrist, neck, foot, etc. (Pain moved to all those areas). It went away in several weeks, or a month at tops.

But pain in my low back and buttock (a popular TMS spot) seems more persistent. And as I journal and dig into emotional sources, it clearly involves childhood memories and pains that I have avoided thinking about for, well, forever.

So, in I go. I can see me in you. "It's been __ days, and it's not gone yet!" I do the same thing.

And yet, I know when I'm grounded and clear, that the process takes time. Some people say for them it's 6 months (like georgethee), and for others even longer.
